They know or they think? Besides, many christians undergo huge surgeries and such to prolong their life. What you said simply isn't true. Christians are just as scared of death as anyone else, they have just attempted to delude themselves in such a way that they don't have to face the reality of death.


Ever stop to think that maybe the similarity of these so-called "near death experiences" stems not from the reality of after-death, but from what society has conditioned us to believe happens when we die? I just don't see why people give these NDEs any credit...It's just a dream that happens under extremely stressful circumstances.
I would disagree that NDE's are dreams due to extreme conditions. I have not had one but I know people who have and it profoundly changes them. Fear of death is a cultural thing. Everbody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die.


Question Authority

God created man in His Image and likeness, and man returned the compliment and created God in his image and likeness...
